We purchased two dining sets and my husband had them put together in a few hours. The dining sets look so much better than the photo.So far these sets have taken on the Santa Ana winds without moving. We are approaching winter, I am optimistic that they will be able to withstand what elements come our way.What a nice buy, I recommend this 5 piece dining set. Put two sets together to seat eight people comfortably. Pros: Quick shipping, easy to assemble, durable, seats are comfortable
